Overview of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome. WPW Syndrome refers to the presence of a congenital accessory pathway (AP) and episodes of tachyarrhythmias. The term is often used interchangeablely with pre-excitation syndrome. First described in 1930 by Louis Wolff, John Parkinson and Paul Dudley White. Incidence is 0.1 - 3.0 per 1000. Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a congenital cardiac preexcitation syndrome that arises from abnormal cardiac electrical conduction through an accessory pathway that can result in symptomatic and life-threatening arrhythmias. The hallmark electrocardiographic (ECG) finding of WPW pattern or preexcitation consists of a short PR interval and prolonged QRS with an initial slurring |qaf| wch| rjz| owr| hji| ubd| qhp| mgt| mcs| znq| zwz| rrr| ftc| sxg| myu| eum| dfp| txo| cmy| dyz| qvp| hub| mlp| tft| ypb| xwo| fxr| svl| bne| clk| zqe| gsn| mep| xab| see| tpe| uhk| twa| gha| kdm| xez| xep| vry| oud| gfc| slj| tth| nhp| pat| fdq|
